Will never win (though I did finish in the top 20 in November 2010 though), SFTC as it's known is a game on ESPN where you pick different sports (anything from baseball to soccer. Mainly concentratest on the main 4 sports, but plenty of soccer, college sports and have even seen cycling and darts). The sports can range from anything from "who will win this game" to "how many goals will be scored" to "who will record more points." The person with the longest winning streak and most wins in any month win I think $2500, though if the longest streak reaches past 27 they can take home a lot of money (if June's winner passes W27, that person will take home $250,000). Picking games on SFTC you'd watch sports and events you really wouldn't pick otherwise. Only thing is you can only pick one game at a time, you can't pick again until your first choice ends, so you have to pick wisely...carefully, but wisely. Here's a sample for Wednesday:
"Finnish league (Lahti @ Inter Turko): How many goals will be scored: 2 or 3 vs. any other number?"
"French open 2nd round (Brian Baker vs. Gilles Simon): What will be the match result: Simon wins 3-0 vs. any other result?"
"NBA draft lottery: Which team will win the lottery: Wizards or Bobcats vs. Any other team?"
"Who will win this matchup: New York Yankees vs. Los Angeles Angels?"
"MLB: Will the Yankees hit a home run between the 3rd through 6th inning? Yes vs. no?"
Only time you even care about a Finnish league soccer game is when you pick one of the 2 teams. Some of my predictions for Wednesday:
I like 2 or 3 in the Finnish soccer game. Turku has scored 20 goals in 9 games, more than 1 goal per game while Lahti has scored 9 in 10 matches, just below 1 per game. Combined they've scored 29 goals in 19 matches. Banking on a 1-1 draw/2-1 win.
Kansas City Royals over the Cleveland Indians. Indians have lost 4 of 5 since sweeping the Tigers last week, and this is the final game of a 3 city 9 game road trip for the Royals where their 4-4 heading into the last game.
Spain: wins by 2+ over South Korea. Spain is prepping for the Euro championships over the summer while South Korea is testing for the 2014 World Cup.
New Jersey Devils over the LA Kings. Devils have 4 lines, all who can score, who will test King's goalie Jonathan Quick and the King's 9-0 road record in this year's playoffs.
Paul Pierce: field goals made or tie over Heat: winning margin. Since Pierce has the tie option, as long as the Heat lose, Pierce pickers win, even if Pierce makes 0 field goals. Celtics need to win otherwise that series is pretty much over.
Dwayne Wade with more points and assists than Rajon Rondo. Will be close because Rondo will have about 3 times as many assists than Wade will have while Wade won't outscore Rondo by that much. Wade will outscore him, and points are woth more than assists. If each have 8 (Rondo 6 assists and 2 basket's that only equals 12) while Wade has 2 assists and 8 basket's that's 18.
Yankees with a home run in the 3rd through 6th inning. Angels starter Ervin Santana has given up 13 home runs in 10 starts this year including 2 when he faced the Yankees in New York earlier in the year.
